McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt on Thursday sentenced Andrzej Hryniewicki to 16 years in prison for a possessing more than 300 pounds of marijuana tied a 2014 drug bust at Wonder Lake's Galt Airport. The DeKalb County resident isn't likely to serve his prison term anytime soon, however. Exactly three weeks after he entered a guilty plea in McHenry County court, Hryniewicki purchased a round-trip ticket to China, prosecutors said.
